Freak Show (Eminem) [✔]

Chapter Eighteen

Today was the custody hearing, and in all honesty, I was scared to see if Marshall won or if Kim won. Marshall's lawyer had all of the evidence piled up against Kim, but Kim's lawyer had some against Marshall. Hopefully she didn't try to look into anything about me though, otherwise he'd lose his girls, and I'd probably lose my own as well. To be completely honest, I don't know if I'd be able to live without my girls, or Marshall's girls for that matter.

"You're coming today, right?" Marshall asked, and I nodded.

"Of course, I'll be ready to go with you as soon as I drop the girls at school." I replied, and he nodded.

"Are we bringing Whitney with us?" He asked, and I bit my lip.

"I was thinking it'd be a good idea. Ya know, show the judge and jury how much Whitney has thrived since she came to live with us. I mean, your lawyer even has her outfit she came in as evidence, since the outfit was a bit too small and tattered." I answered, and he sighed.

"I've got to win. My girls can not go back to that bitch." He stated, and I gave him a comforting hug.

"You'll win. We've got too much on her for her to even have a chance." I said, and he smiled lightly.

The girls got dressed, and then I fixed their hair. Cela was wearing skinny jeans and a 2Pac t shirt, and I put her hair in corn-rolled braids. Lanie was wearing a pair of skinny jeans and a One Direction t shirt, and I put her hair into french braids. Hailie was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a Hannah Montana t shirt, and I had her hair in a ponytail. Emi was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a Power Puff Girls t shirt, and I put her hair into pigtails. I dressed Whitney in a black dress with white polka dots, which also had a diaper cover that looked the same, as well as a pair of black flats.

"You go up and dress, while I feed the girls." Marshall said, and I nodded.

I went upstairs and took a quick shower, before slipping on a black formal dress and black heels, then curling my hair. I tried to look professional, even though I use to go to court in sweats and a tank top when I lived in Charming. Anyhow, I went back downstairs right in time to bring the girls to school. They all piled into Marshall's truck, before I drove them to their designated schools. Once they were dropped off, I headed back home to get Marshall.

He came outside moments later, as I climbed into the passenger seat. Once he was ready, we drove to the court house. I was sat in the front with Whitney, as Marshall was brought to his table by his lawyers. Whitney slept on my chest, which I was thankful for. I don't know what I'd do if she wasn't sleeping most of the time.

"Kimberly Anne Scott. Marshall Bruce Mathers III. You've both come before me today to settle the custody battle between you both and you're three daughters, Hailie Jade, Alaina Marie, and Whitney Scott. I've been shown all of the evidence that has been collected, now I'd like to here from you both, as well as any witnesses you have brought with you to court today. Ms Scott, will you please come sit." The judge said, and Kim nodded.

"Marshall is a terrible man. He would yell at me, tell me I'm such an awful person and would never spend time with the girls." She stated, and I rolled my eyes.

"Is it true that you've cheated on Mr Mathers multiple times?" Marshall's lawyer asked.

"Yes, but you don't understand-"

"Is it true that you've hit Mr Mathers on more than one occasion?"

"Yes, but I-"

"Is it true that you left your daughter, Whitney Scott, unattended while you went off with your boyfriend to get high?"

"Yes, but I didn't mean too."

Kim was called to go back to her spot, before Marshall had to go up.

"I've never laid a hand on Kim, not once. I've yelled at her, but never in front of the children. I work a lot, to pay for her and the girls, so I'm not able to be home often." He stated, and I nodded lightly in approval as he looked at me.

He made sure to keep eye contact with me, but hidden so nobody could tell, that way he'd know if he was saying something right or wrong.

"Mr Mathers, is it true that Ms Scott has come into your house unannounced on more than one occasion?" A lawyer asked.

"Yes, each time was caught on surveillance."

"Is it true that she has started fights with you, in front of your children, and has gotten physical?"

"Yes, twice."

"That's a lie!" Kim yelled, and the judge banged his gable.

"Quiet!" He announced, and Kim sighed.

"Is it true that Ms Scott had gotten physical with her fights when one of the children were involved?"

"Yes."

Marshall was called off, before I was surprised and told to come up. I sat Whitney with Marshall, before walking up.

"Ms Winston, is it true that Ms Scott had gotten physical with you and Mr Mathers?"

"Yes."

"Is it true that one of the children were involved during the incident?"

"Yes."

"Can you recall what happened, before we show the surveillance video?"

"Yes, I had just finished speaking to Marshall about the girls, and he had went up to get a shower. While he was away, Kim had come over. I answered, and politely told her Marshall didn't want her around. She started yelling at me, and soon Marshall had come down. They both were arguing, but Kim was mostly yelling, before she got really mad. She tried to hit me, but Marshall grabbed her. She kicked him in the balls, and then kicked me in the stomach and threw me to the ground, while I was holding Whitney." I stated, before the jury was showed the video.

I was told to sit back where I was with Whitney, as the jury discussed everything. Marshall, his lawyers and I discussed the odds of him winning, which happened to seem fairly good. Soon the jury came out and gave the verdict to the judge.

"I hereby declare that Marshall Mathers has custody over Hailie, Alaina, and Whitney, but Kimberly Scott may not have any contact with them, unless she's under the supervision of Mr Mathers, or his girlfriend Ms Winston, unless stated otherwise." The judge stated, and I grinned.

Kim walked out of the court room with fake sobs, before she found her boyfriend and she went straight to smiling. Marshall grinned and hugged me close.

"You did it, Marshall. You have your girls." I said, and he nodded.

"We did it. If it wasn't for your help, I don't know if I would've won. I think I would've said the wrong things without you." He replied, and I shook my head.

"You had this, with or without me." I stated, before he kissed me.

Today ended up much better than I believed...

A/N: I hope you guys liked this chapter. I bet you weren't expecting him to be full custody over all three kids, since in reality he has shared custody over Hailie. Well, in this book, that's not the case.

Love you guys!
